Sometime near noon, on a hot day, in a field open to the public, a man by the name of Mercutio Montague, was killed in a battle between him, and Tybalt Capulet. After Mercutio was slain, the public rebel, Romeo Montague, avenged his fallen comrad by blowing away Tybalt. Some say it was to defend his family’s honor, some say that it was for killing his friend, and others say it was because Romeo got bored. People were shocked by the sudden out burst of Romeo’s anger and violence. A good friend of Romeo (so that he remains safe, we are calling him Hans) said that it wasn’t his wish to fight, it was his wish to stay alive.
Hans thought that Romeo would just stay home, away from it all, but sadly that wasn’t the case. Now both Mercutio and Tybalt lay dead, and Romeo has ran off. Rumors say that Romeo’s punishment will be death by either hanging or beheading, and others say hat his punishment will be banishment. It is said that Romeo was married to Juliet, a daughter of a family enemy. Lord Capulet thinks that Count Paris should marry Juliet to get her mind off of Tybalt’s untimely death. Questions of cases like this are often ‘who is to blame?’ ‘What started the whole thing?’ ‘Where does the fault lie?’ questions like these can only be answered from rumors that we’ve heard. In a case like this, there is no fact, only a hypothesis in a sea of thoughts and rumors.
